All pc what ive seen are around this price or above so how is the mobo etc and have i chose the right wierless card for the internet?.

Ive gone of the idea of building my own pc. I no that there be other newer pc out but im aiming for a 5 year pc where i have to only upgrade the graphics card. How well is the motherboard on overclocking?. Im looking for a over the top pc but a price like this. BTW This pc is from here.

Thanks and sorry for all the question but spending £1,289.00 on a pc is alot of money and i want to get it right.

the graphics card isnt great and you'll need the 1600MHz RAM for overclocking, and there is no difference between the i5 and i7 during gaming so you could downgrade that

Well if you just want to upgrade the graphics card in 5 years I would go for the cheaper 850W PSU as its still a good psu and it leaves with plenty of space. If you want your PC to last for a long time then dont overclock. The i7 2600 is still powerful at stock speed. I would try for a bigger case such as the Phantom or sniper.
Get the £5 warrenty.

Yes the wireless card is correct.

- Setup to overclock in the future should you ever want/need to
- Slightly inferior CPU
- Better RAM
- Better Graphics Card
- More powerful PSU
- Silver Warranty
- Better Case (in my opinion, the Antec 900 is a popular case but cable management is poor)
- Plenty of upgrade potential

I have a XFX5770 graphic card at the moment. My pc is a q6600 quad 2.40 2.40ghz Mother board not that good at overclocking ive tried but it quits after so long so i put it in iot mode in the bios and notice a difference in games. But if i brought a new graphic card say 6970 or top of the range nvida card would i notice a difference?. I no Anti Alasing is a big slow down in frames persecond and ive always got to have it ticked on use application settings. If i brought a newer card would i be able to have that on or if i had it turned off would i see a diference in frames per second on a newer card?.
